Specification of Letters Patent.-

i erases,

useful Combination-Garment, of which the 1 following is a specification.

This invention is a combination garment, which, in its preferredcomplete form, embodies a hood, coat or jacket, pantaloons, with askirt, and other members, all of which are integral, though it will beunderstood that certain parts of the garment may be used separately fromthe other parts.

The object is to produce a garment, particularly for street wear and foruse in cold weather, which can be quickly applied to the wearer andwhich is serviceable and attractive as well as one possessing markedsuperiority for the purposes intended.

While it is especially intended as a garment for children of both sexes,it is adapted, also, for use by adults and, particularly, for users ofautomobiles or others exposed to cold or inclement weather.

It will be understood that various materials may be used in making thegarment, dependent upon the purpose for which it is to be used, or thepersonal tastes of the wearer. v

In the accompanying drawings, I have illustrated a practical'embodimentof the invention, but the construction shown therein is to be understoodas illustrative, only,

and not as defining the limits of the invention.

Figure 1 is a front view of the garment with certain parts shown intheir open posi- 40 tion'; Fig. 2 isa partial section of one of thesleeves showing a mitten attached thereto, the latter being extendeddownwardly in position for use; Fig. 3 is a similar section to thatshown in Fig.2, but with the mitten folded into the position which itnormally occupies when not in use.

Referring particularly to Figs. 1, 2, and- 3, A designates the completegarment, as adapted particularly for use by girls and women, andcomposed of the hood, a, having a cape extension, I), and fasteningcord, 0. The coat or body portionof the garment, ei, which resembles awaist, is attached to and forms an extension of the hood at the neckline thereof, and the pantaloons, e,

form'a continuation of the coat; the legs of which, f, arepreferablyprovided at their bottoms with shoe coveringsor top'shoes, 9, havingstraps or elasti'cs, g adapte'd'to embrace the shank of the shoe,whereby the top shoes are held in place.

At'the lower ends of the sleeves, h, of the coat;are preferablyattached, at one side of the sleeve, suitable hand coverings, such asmittens or glooves, 2', the said sleeves being provided with a band, 9',secured thereto on the opposite side to which the mittens are attached,and being left free at their opposing sides, so'that. when it is notdesired to use the mittens they may be folded within the band andretained in position as shown in Fig. 3.

Attached to the'coat, d, at or near the waist linethereof is a skirt,is, preferably made so as to be closed front and back and adapted tobefastened near the side, by suitable fastening means, such as hooks andeyes, as shown in Fig. 1. This skirt is provided in its preferred form,with an opening, on one side thereof, which opening not only adds to thestyle and artistic appearance of the garment, but permits the skirt tohang more gracefully and conform better to the wearer than it otherwisewould.

In the form of the garment shown in Fig. 1, the pantaloons are providedwith slits or openings, m, n, in the front and back thereof,respectively, and it will be understood that these openings, as Well asthe coat and top shoes may be closed, or properly secured by fasteningdevices,'such as ball and socket fasteners, as shown in said Fig. 1.

It will be manifest that the garment described may be modified as todetails of construction without departing from the spirit of theinvention, and that it may 'be decorated or, trimmed to suit theparticular wearer or the use for which it is intended.

Having thus fully described the invention, what I claim as new, anddesire to secure by Letters Patent is:

1. A combination garment comprising a body portion and a-pantaloonsportion unitary with said body portion, said garment being provided atthe front of the pantaloons portion with 4 a vertically extendingopening and at the rear of the pantaloons with another verticallyextending opening, a skirt secured to the body portion and positioned toconceal a part of the vertically extending opening in'the front of thepanta- :loons portion and concealing also the vertically extendingopening in the rear of the pantaloons portion, and a hood unitary with 5the body portion at the neck thereof. 2.
